This blog is part of a weekly series called “Medal of Honor Monday,” in which we’ll highlight one of the nearly 3,500 Medal of Honor recipients who have earned the honor of wearing the U.S. military’s highest medal for valor.
The next honoree in our blog series was a member of the U.S. Army’s all-black 24th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, one of the last segregated units to engage in combat. This came during the Korean War, which also became the first war since the American Revolution to see black soldiers fighting alongside white soldiers in the same units.
